Student Perceptions and Use of an Assessment Rubric for a Group Concept Map in Physiology
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Moni, Roger W.; Moni, Karen B. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2008
We previously reported how the opinions of second-year dentistry students and faculty members can be used to construct an assessment rubric to grade group-based concept maps in physiology (14). This article describes the second phase of this study of the subsequent year's cohort. A case study approach was used to investigate how groups of students…

Moni, Roger W.; Hryciw, Deanne H.; Poronnik, Philip; Moni, Karen B. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2007
The media role model was recently developed to frame how science faculty members can teach their students to write more effectively to lay audiences (14). An Opinion Editorial (Op-Ed) was introduced as a novel assignment for final-year physiology and pharmacology undergraduates. This second phase of this study, reported here, demonstrated the…

Moni, Roger W.; Hryciw, Deanne H.; Poronnik, Philip; Lluka, Lesley J.; Moni, Karen B. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2007
Responding to the concern from our faculty that undergraduate students do not have robust laboratory skills, we designed and implemented a strategy to individually teach and assess the manipulative skills of students in first-year laboratories. Five core laboratory skills were selected for the course entitled Human Biology, a large, first-year…

The Opinion Editorial: Teaching Physiology outside the Box
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Poronnik, Philip; Moni, Roger W. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2006
Improving the public understanding of science is an important challenge for the future professional scientists who are our current undergraduates. In this paper, we present a conceptual model that explores the role of mass media as community gatekeepers of new scientific findings. This model frames the benefits for undergraduate science students…
